I think I mentioned this in an earlier thread, but since podpeople brought it up, let me present it again.

As you said, it is easy to transfer non DRM epub books straight to the SD card and the reader will read it fine.

But as for DRM epub (I borrowed one from my public library, have not bought one from a bookstore yet), I find that if I after I download it using ADE, and then use the drag and drop method to transfer it from Digital Editions folder to the SD card, it cannot be opened. If I use ADE to transfer it to the Libre, it will be stored in the Libre internal memory, then it can be read. But if I then transfer the book from internal memory to the SD card, again it cannot be read. Are others experiencing this also? If not, what folder structure do you have in your SD card that allows it to be read or what other files do you have to transfer with the book from internal memory to allow it to open.

I am just thinking about it since I want to have all the books in SD and not hogging up internal memory space.
